That right there is one hell of an argument for the existence of instant karmic justice.

/God love the marines... " The Marines are like my West Highland terrior.. They get up every morning, they want to dig a hole, they want to kill something." - Thomas Barnett//sure all the other branches make fun of them. But we'd gladly stand with them. Green is green after all.

b>810.14Voyeurism prohibited; penalties.-(1)A person commits the offense of voyeurism when he or she, with lewd, lascivious, or indecent intent, secretly observes another person when the other person is located in a dwelling, structure, or conveyance and such location provides a reasonable expectation of privacy.

So in Florida it seems that you don't have to peep on "intimate" behavior as long as someone can read your mind to determine that just watching gets you hot.

So why wasn't he charged with voyeurism rather than intent to commit a crime (presumably voyeurism)?

Not that the guy didn't deserve the beatdown, but this is indicative of America's celebration of violence while shunning any sexual expressions.

If the guy had been beaten down for smoking weed, or shoplifting a bag of chips, I doubt we'd be so giddy about his injuries. But it involves him expressing some sort of sexual desire? We're happy to see him bloodied.

I see what you are getting at but the distinction between a victim-less crime like smoking weed or the minimal impact on society that boosting a bag chips may have pales in comparison to invasion of an underage child's privacy and violation of respect for a person of any age provides me with a clear conscience when I condone violence for one act and not for the others. Of course others may be very justified in drawing that line elsewhere.

This guy (I hope it's the same guy) had peeped on the girl before. He had even damaged window screens. So if he watched her undress on other occasions, but this was the first time they could catch him, they could deduce that he was trying to see teh little girl nekkid, but hadn't gotten that far yet this time.

Of course if he has a decent lawyer, he can probably get it down to tresspassing.
